I do realise that raising the action often makes a guitar sound better. But for instance with a twin pivot bridge you have the option of raising the whole bridge plate and lowering the saddles...
If that can't be achieved, you need to lower the bridge (2-post) or adjust the neck angle with a shim or neck tilt mechanism (6-screw), or whatever combination is necessary to get it there.

You could slam the bridge as low as it would go to maybe achieve better tone..
But then whatever you use to raise the baseplate would alter tone.
Probably taking away moreso than lowering the saddles would have given.
By doing that you *might* have also altered the break angle.
Im trying to visualise it but its hard.
Lowering the saddles would change it.
Or raising the entire baseplate would change it. But lowering one and raising the other, might not cancel each other out as you’d expect. But I could be wrong.
You’d also have to cut down the grub screws otherwise they’d dig into your hands.
